Abstract

Archaeological artefacts have the potential to reveal a great deal about the intimate patterns of daily life. Certain kinds of objects are frequently found on sites due to their material qualities and the ways in which they were acquired, used and discarded. Some of the most common types of objects are those made of ceramic and glass, both of which break easily when in use but then resist decay in the ground. Bone also preserves well in many contexts, leather occasionally, and from the late nineteenth century onwards plastics may also be found. Other kinds of objects are rarer. Iron is very durable and common in daily use, but once in the ground it decays rapidly into often indistinguishable lumps of corrosion. Items made of bronze, lead and precious metals preserve better but are less frequently used. The exception to this is in arid parts of Australia where even iron objects found on the ground surface may preserve very well. Organic materials such as wood, textiles and paper make up the majority of goods in an ordinary household but these break down quickly in the ground and are only found in rare circumstances where the soil has become waterlogged or where they are preserved within cavities in buildings.
